			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala Rasulillah. While early he was so happy edge Marine,
bad, salam, Alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29
			we're coming live to you.
		
00:00:30 --> 00:00:34
			From Mr. Double Herrera, even though there's no one here.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:41
			It's a very, very sad day for many of our communities.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:58
			In fact, for many of our Muslim countries as well, where entire masajid have basically shut down,
and they're no longer having Salah to Gemma and Salah to Joomla in them.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:20
			And so this reminds us of many things. And I just wanted to, over the next few minutes, just share a
few, a few pieces of advice for all of us on how to cope with our current situation, how to deal
with it. First of all,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:22
			look at how
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			entire
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:29
			nations and
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:37
			powerful people and nations have become humiliated and subjugated by something so small and tiny.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:50
			A virus that cannot even be seen by the naked eye has brought the entire world to a halt. What does
that show us? It shows us that no matter how powerful you are,
		
00:01:52 --> 00:01:54
			no matter who you are,
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			you are tiny
		
00:01:58 --> 00:02:09
			in the grand scheme of things in the sight of Allah subhanho wa taala. And what Allah is doing is
that he's showing us that he SubhanaHu Attallah is the only one who's in control of everything.
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:25
			And so, look at how entire markets have crashed, the economy has gone down. People are free to leave
home. They're not allowed to leave their home and there are countries
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			all fearing what
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:43
			not fearing a natural disaster or an earthquake or a war even. But something small and tiny like
this one Ayala module with Rebecca Illa who knows the soldiers of your Lord except Allah.
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:54
			In times like this, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam gave us a very very beautiful piece of
advice.
		
00:02:56 --> 00:03:01
			And so he said a laborer to fill horridge Cal heyedrate Eli
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:08
			that a bad in catastrophic times times a fitna like these
		
00:03:10 --> 00:03:12
			is like making Hijra to me,
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:23
			meaning in the reward of the rebuilder. In times like this, in times like this, the reward of a bad
is so great
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:32
			in these times, in these times when everyone is afraid,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:54
			and everyone is watching the news, everyone is following different things that are going on around
them. It is in times like this, that the prophets Allah Allahu Allah will advise us to be busy in
our time in getting closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala in the IBA of Allah subhanahu wa taharah
		
00:03:55 --> 00:04:04
			it's not about this epidemic and this pandemic, coming to an end, that will happen. There's no doubt
that that will happen.
		
00:04:05 --> 00:04:09
			Because we believe in Allah subhanho wa Taala bringing relief
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:23
			to the world and ending this catastrophe. It's not about ending or when it will end, but rather it's
about what will your state be when it comes to an end?
		
00:04:25 --> 00:04:29
			Has this event gotten you closer to Allah subhanahu wa Tada
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:32
			or are you the way you were before?
		
00:04:34 --> 00:04:38
			And so it's in times like this, that Allah subhanho wa Taala is testing us.
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:43
			It's in times like this, that Allah subhanaw taala wants us to turn to Him.
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:59
			And turning to Allah means that we worship Him and that we do different kinds of acts very bad for
him SubhanaHu wa Tada. Whether it be personal
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:31
			act a very bad Salah vicar fasting, or whether it be helping others, extending your good and your
help to others. All of this comes comes under HIPAA. And so now is a time for a data and getting
closer to Allah subhanho wa Taala seeking the forgiveness of Allah turning to Allah in repentance,
now is not the time to be busying ourselves with following what's going on in the news, because
whatever is happening,
		
00:05:32 --> 00:05:34
			it's going to continue to happen.
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:45
			And the stories that we're following, they're not going to ever stop. And so when are you going to
get time to turn to Allah subhanho wa Taala in a bad
		
00:05:48 --> 00:05:57
			one last point that I wanted to mention here, as most of our masajid have shut down.
		
00:05:59 --> 00:06:06
			And many of us when we heard that, you know, my message is closing down. It was
		
00:06:08 --> 00:06:11
			a very, very sorrowful moment for them.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:14
			And that is because
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:23
			for such people, they used to pray Salah to Jana regularly, and he used to come to the masjid
regularly.
		
00:06:26 --> 00:06:28
			And so it's very difficult for such people.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:33
			But remember that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam
		
00:06:34 --> 00:06:36
			promised the one
		
00:06:37 --> 00:06:40
			who has to miss
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:48
			coming to the masjid and Salah to Jamal, he has to miss it because of a sickness or because he
traveled.
		
00:06:49 --> 00:07:20
			The prophet the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, there's such a person while he is away,
and he's traveling or he's sick. Then he gets the reward for the his reward does not diminish. So be
rest assured of the reward of Allah subhanho wa Taala you are not missing salatu Jana in the masjid
because of your whims and your desires, like other people who were doing so they were missing Serato
Jamara before all of this happen
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:30
			and so that's why for them, they don't feel what you feel a pain. And so rest assured that Allah
subhanho wa Taala does not
		
00:07:32 --> 00:07:38
			allow your reward to go to waste. And finally concerning Salah to Jamal, even though
		
00:07:39 --> 00:08:22
			we are not praying it in many of our masajid we have to make sure that we do pray wherever we are,
whoever we happen to be with in these days. And so if you're at home, don't abandon salata, Jana,
pray your pray with your family members. Pray have your neighbors come over or whoever else is
around, don't neglect this symbol of our deen and so, if you can pray salatu Jumeirah wherever you
are, and many people are also asking about Joomla The same applies to Joomla. Because although the
scholars different concerning what number is required, for Salah to Joomla
		
00:08:24 --> 00:08:38
			the correct opinion in sha Allah is that so now to Joomla is valid with three people and above. So,
wherever you are, if you happen to if you happen to have a group of people
		
00:08:40 --> 00:08:51
			then pre salatu Juma and have somebody to give the hook but there's nothing wrong with that. It
doesn't have to be in the masjid. We ask Allah subhanahu wa taala to
		
00:08:53 --> 00:09:27
			bring relief to this honor and to protect all of us and our family members from every illness and
from every disease. And we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to allow us to witness Ramadan while we are
all in a state of Eman and health. And while our masajid are all open in the Hollywood Erica will
call the rally also Allahu wa salam ala Nabina Muhammad while early he was certainly he Gemelli
